Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 28, 1907.

Application filed August 28,1906. Serial No. 331,803.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JEFFERSON NEWBERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lumberton, in the county of Robeson and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Leather- Polish, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is a new and improved polish and consists of the combination of certain ingredients herein below described and compounded in the manner set forth. It will put a glaze on leather that will last several months, and is a very valuable polish; it is particularly adapted to harness and shoes; water does not afiect it.

My invention consists of the following ingredients combined in the proportions and manner stated, viz :Take one pound of steel filings and put the same into one and one half gallons of apple vinegar; this mixture forms basic acetate of iron; let this mixture stand for two weeks, then dip off the vinegar and the dissolved steel filings, then strain to remove all lumps; to this mixture add one half pint of linseed oil and one quarter of a pound of gum-arabic then boil together one pint of neats-foot oil and one quarter of a pound of beeswax, and let stand untilv cool; then add this to the above ingredients; then put the whole into a stone vessel, and stlr until thoroughly mixed. This mixture makes a soft paste, something like Royal glue. Claim.

The herein described process for pre aring named ingredients, put whole in a stone vessel and stir until thoroughly'mixed, all as herein described, the whole forming a complete process for making a leather polish, substantially as shown and described and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two SllbSCI'lblng' witnesses.
